Niceee

I run JPC 2

[low fox]

you know he's actually a combat medic

right?

i've done "real shit" a couple times, ask me how much i care about a larper wearing what they want

whatever happened to not being some shithead loser and worrying about yourself eh?

but then again, you're probably either a troll, or you're so god damn stupid that you actually believe a word of what you just said, so we leave it at that yes

THIS MONTH IM GETTING NODS

[modest flame]

Who has knowledge on nods

Budget is like $5000-$6000

Looking for white phos hopefully

@low fox hey man

[low fox]

salaam

[modest flame]

Do you have knowledge on nods?

[low fox]

a bit, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself an SME

[echo jay]

rnvg

[low fox]

you can get articulating duals for 6 lol

[echo jay]

tha's all I know

[modest flame]

https://shop.superiortac.com/Superior-Tactical-Gen-3-PVS-14-L3Harris-18UM-White-Phosphor-STPVS14WP18UM.htm

Are these worth

And do I need anything else beside the mount for my helmet?

[echo jay]

why mono

[modest flame]

Nvm it comes with mount

@echo jay do you have any recommendations?

My budget is 5-6k

White phos is a must

[low fox]

do not get a pvs 14 for 6 GS

[echo jay]

no I just have a discord to crawl through previous convos

[low fox]

You're in solid dual territory

[echo jay]

all I have been told is get RNVGs and white phos

idr anything other than that off the top of my head

[modest flame]

Well this one is $3800

Watching a video on what its like at night

Good enough for my tastes

[echo jay]

duals are in your budget and idk why you would get mono when duals are an option

[modest flame]

Because I don't know how much what costs or where to find good deals and what not

It's just I seen these for cheaper so I thought why not

@low fox what's a good deal white phos I could get?

[echo jay]

clearly

this

[modest flame]

Lol

[low fox]

RNVGs would be doable

Green Phos PVS 15s

Nocturne Katanas with WP Photonis tubes could probably be done for 6500ish?

Talk to nocturne industries, licentia arms, gooningear and Nick's night vision

[left flax]

Lucky mfer

[foggy sorrel]

[foggy sorrel]

Mr remove poors

[modest flame]

Oh I could afford dual tubes I'm just cheap

Happy enough with mono so just gonna spend the $3500

[coarse laurel]

[coarse laurel]

I avoid AGM

I heard bad things about it within the NVG community

[modest flame]

[low fox]

We're allowed to talk about real guns here?

[spring oar]

It'd be better in #irl-weapons

[low fox]

Thanks!

[atomic brook]

bruh

[distant escarp]

Tarkov needs to make it so you can wear body armor like that for your legs, the ones with the sleeves of course

[scenic monolith]

is there a preppers chat

cus there's def gotta be preppers in the server

[night rock]

leg body armor afaik was considered but they dropped the idea

[twin pecan]

no

stop trying to be the terminator

[coarse laurel]

Lol people are so brainwashed by tarkov that they think being chunky is best

Love to see someone run around in all that armor and get smoked

[visual rune]

I've been hammering this point to all the dudes who want the full Russian getup

[coarse laurel]

Yeah it’s dumb

[visual rune]

Maybe a slick rig and some cardio

So you don't fucking die

And I don't mean in a gunfight, I mean in general

Brought to you by the American heart association

[coarse laurel]

This is what I run for work and I’ve done movements up to 12 miles and dismount ops that involve running and shit, it’s still abit exhausting lol

Lol all this plus my weapons and my medical bag

Lighter is better because you won’t be out of breath running from cover to cover

You can get in windows and obstacles easily

Might involve climbing

You don’t get caught in shit during dismounting a vehicle

Lol a lot of the chunks can’t even aim properly after moving because their shit is so heavy that they start panting hard

And it’s HOT

[visual rune]

I think there's been too much love for d-boy gooning

[coarse laurel]

That kind of chunky shit you see can work in rapid urban operations where you gotta assault a building and nothing else

[visual rune]

And not enough for things that end in "mountain division"

[coarse laurel]

Lol fucking 10th mountain

I’m glad I’m not going there

[visual rune]

Like yeah dealing with fatal funnels all day is cool but, have you considered hiking with a gun?

And the boys

Maybe a horse?

🐴

A dirtbike?

[coarse laurel]

I’m in 1st Armored, I have a metal horse that don’t work half the time

[visual rune]

Well at least you're not in a BMP

Cruising through the plains of western Europe

[coarse laurel]

I work out of an M113A3 as a tanker medic or the abrams itself

They make me load for the undermanned abrams

Lmao

It’s fucked

[visual rune]

I didn't think the armor dudes were undermanned

Or did everyone retire

MB dude

[low fox]

funny enough I founded Ulachs and every moment i tried to lookt i get headshotted but i survive, its a mircale how helmets can help you survive

[coarse laurel]

No doubt helmets help

[low fox]

thts just cause of what people are running, for me i see people run high teir gear when im low tier

and its the other way around for m

[acoustic harbor]

Ratnik is light

like around 8 kilos for the carrier + Plates?

1 kilo for the helmet

or 1.5

older stuff is the part where shit gets heavy

[visual rune]

for what the slick setup?

what does the expanded set weigh*

[acoustic harbor]

there is no expanded set

[visual rune]

the side/shoulder pauldrons?

[acoustic harbor]

they are not issued

and thar was the 6B43

the 43 was only in testing phase

but with all the nooks and crannys (groin and delotied soft plus lower back plate, side and cock plate) up to 15 or 20 iirc

kilos

[visual rune]

i actually haven't been paying attention to the kit in the uhhhh europe situation

[acoustic harbor]

meh you often see Crimea era kit too

especially with seperatists

some VDV units too

being 6B23-1, 6B7-1M and 6Sh112

6Sh116 for officers

6B23-1 nowadays pretty shit, weird plateform uses steel no backplates

heavy

[visual rune]

actually now that i think about it

i've seen very few dudes in armor at all?

[left flax]

6B47 super light

Comfy too

[acoustic harbor]

captured dudes get it taken off

but the crying soldier had his 45 still on

[left flax]

That video was so fuckin sad man

[visual rune]

the only guy i've seen with armor on is the media dude

that i can recall off the top of my head

[acoustic harbor]

the first two things I found

[left flax]

All look depressed as fuck

[acoustic harbor]

conscripts

oh funfact the 2 guys on the left use ssh68s

[visual rune]

i assume there is a thread somewhere

[left flax]

I thought that

[visual rune]

detailing kit

[left flax]

Old shitty thing s

[visual rune]

i think i saw some of the recent special forces guys with armor?

but the footage is way too grainy to ID

[acoustic harbor]

VKBO Layer system
Faradei M906, M089 or M221/211 boots forgor the name
6B51 kneepads and elbowpads
6B47 with 6B50
6B45 with 6sh117, some units wear pouches on the armor
6Sh122 gloves and depending on unit masking suit
6Sh118 or 6B38 backpack

normal ratnik

they just mix and match cuz shitty rear end conscript unit

[acoustic harbor]

they use all kinda of armor, some gearcraft carriers, or other selfbought stuff

some is issued

[visual rune]

i'll defer

there are too many weird russian carriers

[acoustic harbor]

those are both 6B45s

collar but inside

the left guy has on the upper row to issued utility pouches on upside down, then 2 pouches i can id, lower row 3 mag pouches and a Pouch actually flr a Azart Radio but they use shitty baofengs god knows why, other has 2 util and 4 mag pouches

seems they wear VKBO 8th Layer Winter uniforms

[visual rune]

Actually you know

it would be easier to just pull images from the belarus training exercises

same kit 😂

[acoustic harbor]

belarussians use a lil different armor n shit iirc

but ratnik has been used since 2016

so you have a lot of pictures from it

[visual rune]

seems pretty standard

[acoustic harbor]

rifleman setup, but with less pouches then normal

thw 4 grenade and 2 utils are missing

buttpack should be there tho

[acoustic harbor]

those are Kazakhstani Peacekeepers

and that's a gearcraft carrier

[visual rune]

and then the SSO dude

sso/spetsnaz

[spring oar]

[acoustic harbor]

spetsnaz in general means sof, Army has 2 SSO and GRU

[visual rune]

the weird carriers and their knockoffs are very unfamiliar though

[acoustic harbor]

upper one is gearcraft i guess bottom idfk

they definetly don't use the good shit like gladiators

[visual rune]

i know there are a couple of bespoke gear companies

[acoustic harbor]

GearCraft, SSO, Gruppa 99 and Stichprofi are some of the more renowned companys

also MBC/RaidGear

[modest flame]

Cover came in

[left flax]

Umsemc

Bear > usmecm

Cool helmet tho

[acoustic harbor]

Usuck

[urban cove]

my crye package is coming today :')

[modest flame]

@urban cove mine ships today, what did you order?

[vestal pond]

what cover and helmet is it?

it does look similar to mine, mine is a one tigris

[modest flame]

I forget the cover I'll have to check. But it's a level iiia from ballistic armor co @vestal pond

[vestal pond]

oh nice it's a real one

[modest flame]

The cover is just the cheapest one I could find on Amazon lol

[vestal pond]

If you have the same as mine it's actually pretty good and durable, one tigris is a cheap brand I like

Sometimes for random pouches or covers like this, famous brands charge you very expensive while in reality, you can get good quality for way cheaper

[modest flame]

I bought pouches from one Tigris as a place holder till I can order some crye ones eventually, I actually like em

[vestal pond]

yea I know some people like pouches that can hold in place but in my case, I like the good old velcro and they make good ones for cheap

That's mine, the pack at the back mostly holds batteries for my optics/lamps.

it's a replica helmet though - but still nice to protect from impacts on walls/roofs/falls and hold utility, which is mostly what I use it for

I don't plan to use it in real combat

[modest flame]

Looks good af

I still gotta put the cords in mine

I also can't wait to mount nods to mine in 2 weeks

Main thing I'm worried about it either or not the pouch green will match cryes green @vestal pond

[urban cove]

airlite pc and cummerbund, as well as some pouches n stuff

[low fox]

the answer is no

[vestal pond]

oh yea some cords were part of the cover in my case

[low fox]

ranger green has so many color palettes that none of them are consistent

[vestal pond]

Some cables are for radio/headset

[modest flame]

Niceeee. I ordered the jpc2 and flap. Next pay I'm getting the pouches and side plates

[urban cove]

nice

[modest flame]

Oh well, it's only a place holder till next week

[low fox]

sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do after this

😔

[storm peak]

How tf do you put a crye plate carrier together yall

[low fox]

you bought an avs

and have no idea how to put it together?

sigh..

ok

check it out

first of all tighten up the harness, it'll make it easier

there will be rubber tabs on the harness, those are for attaching to the platebag, should be little passthroughs on the inside of it, run those snaps through the rear platebag and tighten it

there's different config instructions based on whether you want to do QD or not for the cummerbund

which i'm assuming you have

[storm peak]

issued

hmm, which do you suggest, qd or cumberband

dude gave me both

[low fox]

since when are intel nerds drawing SPEAR

ah whatever

doesnt matter

https://www.cryeprecision.com/Resources/en/Manuals/CryePrecision-AVS_Manual(Web).pdf

[storm peak]

for quite a while now lol sot-a

[storm peak]

ahh perfect, ty

[low fox]

too bad the AVS is a last generation carrier

mine hasn't left my closest in many moons

[storm peak]

i dont even want it tbh

[low fox]

i mean

its not bad

it's just that there's better now

[storm peak]

i deadass just wanted the peltors and they ended up giving me the whole shabang

[low fox]

they dont exactly do partial issues most of the time unless it's a DX

you're drawing SPEAR at all and you're drawing everything

[storm peak]

its unfortunate

last thing i want is another $11k on my clothing record ya feel

[low fox]

🤷‍♂️

just stuff it in a closet if you're not gonna use it

that's where half of mine is

[storm peak]

yeah $613 for a nods mount

fancy breakaway thing

[low fox]

[storm peak]

they can kiss my ass, its not leaving my closet

wonder if id get some looks putting my trusty rhino mount on it

[low fox]

you're getting jewed

if i lost my g24 mount

and someone told me to pay 613 dollars for it

im dropping the whole SPEAR catalogue on their desks

i know how much that shit costs

aint no way ur charging me 200 dollars +

[storm peak]

im halfway tempted to superglue this shit on

[low fox]

its not gonna fall out

stuff it in the ops core they issued you and leave it there

most guys dont take their mounts out

no reason to

[storm peak]

i dont want any of this shit anyhow. ye you right, no reason to bring 95% of this stuff out of the toughbox

[low fox]

if you're on a SOT-A why not just bring it

as far as the NVG mount goes

your rhino literally will not work

the PVS 31 uses the dovetail interface

[storm peak]

well yeah when its needed ill bust it out

[low fox]

if they issued you a G24, odds are you're gonna have 31s

or, if you're that worried about it

[storm peak]

i got 2 of those fancy new ach baseplates, blanking on the name atm

[low fox]

what does it look like

[low fox]

norotos universal shroud

nvm

g24 wont work with those

[storm peak]

im what you consider a dumbass when it comes to gear

[low fox]

only norotos mounts will

was gonna say if you got issued an ops core since i figured spear would do that

[storm peak]

oh ye i got that too

[low fox]

if you were that worried about a g24 falling out

even though it wont

these exist too

no breakaway cause they just attach straight to the lid

it is literally the shroud itself

[storm peak]

ohhhh alright

i should look into getting one of those

itll be a cold day in hell when i get told to pay stupid money for this beatup gear

[low fox]

i got mine from some east coast NSW dudes on an exercise, idk if they sell these directly

i think it's called the wilcox g32

or g19?

i dunno

[storm peak]

one i have in my hands is the g24

[low fox]

yeah, that's not gonna fall out unless the force literally shears through the shroud

i'd be more worried about walking away from that without a broken neck than the mount falling out

there can be a bit of wobble but it's not a falling out thing

[storm peak]

lol word, im just trying to cope on these prices bro

like why are these pants $186 each

[low fox]

🤷‍♂️

cheaper than retail pricing

by alot

actually

[storm peak]

🤢

this is why in not a gear nut

[low fox]

there's not much reason to buy shit with SPEAR anyway

its just bits and pieces at that point

but if you're gonna run with an ODA it would benefit you to know your shit

and know what all of it does, and how to use it, and when to use what

unless you want to get stuck as a TOC boy anyway

come to think of it the only thing i've bought are plate carriers

well, and a pair of AMPs before the CASL started getting issued

but they're too delicate so they're relegated to range headsets

[storm peak]

well i do news about that, thats literally me coming up here soon

[low fox]

not a big deal then

[modest flame]

@vestal pond did I do the cords right

[twin pecan]

kinda weird

Why just green

[wanton musk]

Why not green

[twin pecan]

idk not very fab

[modest flame]

@twin pecan to match my PC

[twin pecan]

oh

[vestal pond]

Green is nice

The main purpose of cords in my mind is to keep what ever is under it tied to the helmet, mosly cables for example

It looks good 👍

[modest flame]

Thanks bb

[coarse laurel]

I love these amp arms

Way better than the standard mounts

And it makes sure it seals the cup to my ear

[vestal pond]

Do you have a link or name of them?

depending on the mount I may check it, mine is tricky to get attached to normal mounts last time I check

[coarse laurel]

It needs an adapter though

For peltors

[vestal pond]

Thanks)

[acoustic harbor]

how easy are they to switch to headbands doe

[lone grove]

mmmm body armor is love.

[urban cove]

radian safety otw 😩

[coarse laurel]

It’s actually easy it’s just a matter of cable management

[acoustic harbor]

but they probably recquire a bit of force to get the out of the mount don't they?

[low fox]

should i buy this for $220

complimentary to my TW

[left flax]

thats 220?

Gott darn

[modest flame]

Kinda like this wind breaker by ottegear

[waxen holly]

that’s absolutely fire

[modest flame]

@waxen holly fr. It's $169

I like how thin it is

[left flax]

170 waaaat

Blimey

[wheat brook]

if you wanna larp on a budget you can get some of the better gear from the cold war for mostly under 100

lol

[storm peak]

nah lol, gear just isnt my thing. at most in my personal possession is my war belt

larpin isnt my thing ya know

[coarse laurel]

they take awhile to break in in terms of pulling them off

the arms themselves though are picky with the arc rails, make sure its the in-spec gentex ones or you will end up filing/sanding parts of the rear rail

[solemn vault]

Does anyone know if the earsmor m31s with the helmet adapters fit on and under the TM2002?

[sullen birch]

i spy with my lil eye, a pp helmet

[modest flame]

Are you also getting plates?

Hmm not sure what you could get at that price point. What I have for 225€ is a jpc 2.0

@low fox

[acoustic harbor]

Eagle ind. MMAC also very noice

you could also get some pcs from the russians, like a TV 110, or a SSO shell, lower price, not that big difference k. quality

[visual rune]

probably not possible with current events

going the way they are

[visual rune]

can we get a plate ID

granit plate you reckon?

[coarse laurel]

Wanna know what plate carrier is the most comfiest one I’ve worn that’s also fairly rare nowadays?

The fucking tactical tailor fight lite

https://www.tacticaltailor.com/fightlightplatecarrier.aspx

[visual rune]

the slick carriers are not necessarily the most comfy, despite the IG worthiness

they have a place but

lots of gr8 options

[left flax]

I would like me a wartech

They look comfy from what I've seen

Stil waiting on my monolith though

[coarse laurel]

Lol I saw someone in an airsoft field try to go full chunky wearing some Russian shit and he got smoked even with dummy plates

Couldn’t even make it a couple of feet

[acoustic harbor]

yes

5A most probably cuz conscripts, if it's from VDV it could also be 6A

but they only are different in the thiccness of the kevlat backrt

[acoustic harbor]

I fuckin hate the russian muh juggernaut kits

fucking unecessary

wear some normal shit, don't use an altyn, K6, Maska if you're not reenacting

[visual rune]

probably not 6A

because that looks like it got penetrated

[acoustic harbor]

6As and 5As are nearly the same as mentionee

also 6As aren't produced anymore iirc

but could be 5A ofc

[visual rune]

well anymore

but given the age of equipment we've seen

[acoustic harbor]

also fully penetrated or just front

[visual rune]

anything goes

no further info

[acoustic harbor]

could be anything then

[modest flame]

Jpc 2 gonna be here sometime in the next few hours

[waxen holly]

T. rex AC1 should be on there too. the slickster is an excellent carrier as well

[urban cove]

i ordered the crye airlite SPC, its a very minimalist carrier but it keeps the modularity that crye offers on all their carriers and it starts at only $169 USD, around 150 euros

[solemn vault]

You can find used osprey MK4s for 70 bucks in mint condition

It's a pretty good system in and of itself and you can shove everything into it and stick on it

Can go light with the arms and collar off

Or go heavy with arms and collar on

I only reccoment the half collar tho

And there are also the side plates too

Only downside is that there might be a service number and blood type already on it but you can rub it off with some alcohol whipes

^

[low fox]

looks like a granit plate

[acoustic harbor]

It is I already mentioned it

[low fox]

ok

[modest flame]

@low fox it came and the pouches I bought match

The level 4s fit really really snug in there

[vestal locust]

is this real armor or is this airsoft ?

@modest flame

[low fox]

we do not post airsoft in here

[vestal locust]

why does he have a armor plate carrier

[low fox]

because this is america?

[vestal locust]

why do yall have this shit 💀

[low fox]

see: "because this is america and we can do what we want"

[vestal locust]

I understand but like what do yall use it for

just to have and to have it look nice?

[low fox]

whatever we want to use it for

me personally, for work

but basically, whatever we want to use it for

[vestal locust]

wdym work?

like millitary?

[low fox]

yes

[vestal locust]

makes sense

[modest flame]

Have it just to have it

And cuz I can

[vestal locust]

but do you use it for anything?

[echo jay]

this sounds like euro in the chat

🍿

[vestal locust]

wat

[low fox]

i dont understand why people need justification to do and purchase things with their own money

"because i can" should be a sufficient response

why do you wear shoes?

[vestal locust]

so my feet dont hurt

[low fox]

but you dont have to wear shoes

you can go barefoot

there are actually known scientific benefits for walking barefoot

if it's protection for your feet you need, you can just coat them in resin or something and walk around

[vestal locust]

i wear shoes so i dont step on nails and stuff

[low fox]

why do you eat anything but protein slush?

why do you have any colors in your place of residence?

[modest flame]

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

[vestal locust]

no i know i support that i just wonder like what u do with it

[modest flame]

Let it sit near my bed and look cool in case I ever need it one day

I'm case a mf breaks in or something. People break into houses armed all the time around here

[vestal locust]

so for self defense purposes

[modest flame]

Yessir

[vestal locust]

i was just wondering because some people buy shit that they would never use/need

like people from the safes suburbs with like the lowest crime rates be buying guns and stuff

safest*

[echo jay]

as it should be

[modest flame]

Well I mean the second amendment is about the preservation of freedom

[vestal locust]

yeah and i am happy with that i own a couple guns myself

[naive maple]

there's one good reason to own armor that trumps the other reasons

one day they will try to ban it

[coarse laurel]

i own gear because of my job

can use it for personal shit too on my own time and it makes my job so easy, it beats the issued shit im given by the army

[river cedar]

Because tyranny knows no bounds. That’s why we have armor, carriers, gear, and other things

[low fox]

Why do people buy more than 1 car

[echo jay]

Because trust me the one I love the most would not survive long as my daily

[urban cove]

Surprisingly sturdy, so far I’m a fan of the Airlite SPC

[cinder stream]

if you own weapons for self defense/stop tyranny, wouldnt you like to own something that can stop bullets that you can wear?

[urban cove]

Ever heard of just ~having a hobby~?

[vestal pond]

It's fun how EFT brings together fans of gear and guns, overall the quality of the recommendations given here are pretty solid, I know I got my red dot from a recommendation given here as well

[low fox]

I mean dont forget the memey responses like my 1871 valise with custom Bren bags.
still works damn well

[vestal pond]

Well I'm not going to complain about those, It's not like I never did such recommendations myself

[low fox]

Your telling me you havent said to run slade wallace equipment for pure shiggles

Or p58 which unironically is nice

I jerryrigged some greatcoat straps on mine so i can carry my greatcoat when hiking

[low fox]

through hazing and the enforcement of what is righteous and good, gear recommendations in this channel remain pure

[modest flame]

Why so expensive

Big chillin at work

[low fox]

dod contract pricing

required to sell to the government for less than they sell to you

and they want to make money

AMPs are okay

i have a set

they're really delicate though

[modest flame]

Ahhhh makes sense

[echo jay]

I need ears but spensive

[naive maple]

just okay?

i kinda want to upgrade from plain peltor sport tacs

not worth it?

[low fox]

they're really good for casual shooters

but they've been known to break alot for people who run them hard

mic on mine broke so i had to order comtac 6s and relegate mine to range use only

[naive maple]

that's weird

[low fox]

not really

this is a commonly documented issue in professional circles

AMPs break all the damn time

but only if you're running them hard

[naive maple]

yeah but like it's ops-core

you'd think it was rugged

since they dont make range toys

on paper anyway

[coarse laurel]

The arms are rugged

The headset is meh

[storm peak]

alright so i do got a question

are cummerbunds better than traditional molle

i ask this because im uncertain about the giant gaps in my pl8 carrier

[low fox]

this question does not make sense, take pictures

every carrier has a cummerbund

so im not sure what you mean

[coarse laurel]

I think he means like the JPC cummberbunds

The skeletonized style

[visual rune]

they are traditional molle

almost all of them

[naive maple]

i assume he means the elastic cummerbunds with no storage

solution: get something like the ferro concepts elastic cummerbund with pouches built in

[low fox]

ferro concepts is ass

[echo jay]

Muh slickster

[cinder stream]

laughs in real LBT slick with Haley rig over it

[low fox]

a relic of a bygone era

if you do not have an LV MBAV, you are wrong

[cinder stream]

ewwww, looks ugly af

it looks like a pig brig and a AC1 had a baby

[low fox]

it's the OG and the best low vis carrier on the market

well, behind the LBT anyway

[deep tapir]

whats your job?

this was yesterday lol

[modest flame]

I work in an office lol

[deep tapir]

whats the gear for then?

[modest flame]

Oh my coworker wanted to see it in person and he told me to wear it into work so I did lol

[deep tapir]

lmao

thought you were a contractor or sm

the funny tho

thats

[low fox]

the age of coolguy (tm) contracting has been over for years

[modest flame]

@deep tapir tbh any excuse I get to wear it I'll take

Things worth like $800 imma get at least some use out of it

What is that damn knife

[acoustic harbor]

Morpeh, like 2008 used knives are 6H4 and 6H5

[low fox]

thanks BipV2

🙂

[acoustic harbor]

though these seem different

you got any more detailled pictures

[low fox]

nope

only pic i have

[acoustic harbor]

It seems like the "Storm" knife

[low fox]

maybe?

[acoustic harbor]

especially with the grip and texture

[low fox]

all i know is i have the vest, saw this loadout and went "Cool, time to run it with a KR-9"

[acoustic harbor]

you got a 6B23/6B13?

[low fox]

6sh92

the Vest not the Armor

[acoustic harbor]

6B12 to my correction

[low fox]

ill nab one off the ebays in a few months

[acoustic harbor]

from either Kirasa or Klasskom

yep 6B12-4 from NPP Klass

[low fox]

Found some more

definetly looks like the Storm one but not 1 to 1

[low fox]

Earlier one maybe?

I havent even been able to find a storm 1

[acoustic harbor]

You're late lmao

And yes those are Granits, most probably 5A

[visual rune]

someone else on the Twittersphere mentioned they're gost 6

SSO

[acoustic harbor]

ah then 6A ones

preffered by SSO and VDV, but they are nearly the same

same Alumina Oxide Tiles just the 6As have a thiccer kevlar backer

Gost 6A is able to stop 3 hits of B32 7.62x54R from a range of 5 Meters

5A is 7.62x39 57-BZ-231 (API) iirc

lemme check

[acoustic harbor]

6B47 helmet, SSO/SPOSN Shell Platecarrier, looks like a SSO Smersh over it, maybe a backpack, AGS 17 Grenade Launcher

Balaclava is VKBO one

most probably a SSO operative

[naive maple]

more tarkov-like

[visual rune]

are you familiar with the rosgvardiya vests?

[acoustic harbor]

Bagariy

Above it probably a Black Oxford Smersh or a SSO one depending on time

and unit

they also have a rather rare Moss counterpart

[acoustic harbor]

standard Tanker outfit

if the unit has good funds you can maybe see a 6B48 complex

[acoustic harbor]

[low fox]

No

Im trying to attain a pdf

Then set my dot matrix going on it

[acoustic harbor]

mayve you get better luck with a Saiga 9

[low fox]

I like the mil manuals for my shit

Hence why im trying to get it

[acoustic harbor]

If you find one, care to hit me up?

[low fox]

Ive got a joke bounty out for one

Same with the VHS2 and MAC 1935A

[acoustic harbor]

lmao

[low fox]

Yeah. That and a cleaing kit

[acoustic harbor]

[low fox]

It isnt

Canvas pouch with shit

Modified SVD

[acoustic harbor]

ah interesting

[low fox]

I had a photo them it disappeared

[acoustic harbor]

sadge

[low fox]

Ye

Personally I hate russian shit for this damn reason. NO ONE SCANS MANUALS

LIKE FUCK

[acoustic harbor]

I have a PMK 3 and 6Sh117 manual :)))

I hope i can get one for a Gladiator C

buut since my seller can't sell them for obvious reasons

it's a little shite

[low fox]

I chose a great time to make my zenitfuck kr9

When Zenitco is getting sanctioned

[acoustic harbor]

also can't wait until all the saigas are sold out here

fucking eu is gay

[low fox]

No, I agree with the no buy but its just a lil bit annoying

Its like how i wont buy DT on principle

[low fox]

Me n my GF went to a cosplay event today really fun time!

[left flax]

Pretty swag

Going to comic con next week with my tarkov shet

[low fox]

There’s an event called mega con in Orlando sometime that she’s been telling me she wants to go to

Also not sure if it’s applicable in this chat but I made a replica gamma container, and also got some replica gear for my cosplay

[spring oar]

For the splint and CSR, you make replicas or buy the real thing?

[radiant ivy]

You really should attach the container to your butt ;D

[whole monolith]

nonono the proper way is in your butt dumb ass

[ornate plover]

just got these

[modest flame]

Cosplay looks dope

[summer sun]

Anybody have some recommendations for complete ar-15 uppers looking to switch my current one out

[modest flame]

Ask in the weapons channel

Ahhh I see you already did nvm

[summer sun]

Yeah my mistake

[dusty fiber]

you should have bought avon m50/53 or c50's

milleniums are not that great

they dont protect against blister agents and some other chemicals, as theyre made of silicone

drinking tubes are not the best

hyped mask, looks awesome

[open fjord]

O_O

[low fox]

Splint is an ever ready 26 inch aluminum splint, and by CSR I’m assuming you mean either the MK-1 “Cheese” or Salewa, and those I both bought replicas also

[low fox]

Thank you so much!!! We both had such a great time 😋

[acoustic harbor]

Hey i need some opinions on the spiritus rigs

are they worth the price?

[ivory creek]

[hallow compass]

Is this functional?

If so link please

[low fox]

https://planomolding.com/products/protector-series-scoped-pistol-case-1010137?variant=40467941327008

You have to paint. But some painters tape and rattlecans can fix that issue right quick

[hallow compass]

I meant the cheese but I'mma get this too

[hallow compass]

Still worth it

[low fox]

Cheeses in america are empty

[hallow compass]

I figured damn

[low fox]

I used it for skittles when doing living history

[hallow compass]

Hey that's a few points of hp right there still

I really want to get an atlyn helm but I've been debating on wether or not it's worth it

[low fox]

Go with greyshop if you are unsure

[hallow compass]

I've been looking on it

[low fox]

Personally I find them dumb sooooooo

[hallow compass]

I had some pants from there for hunting

Some of the items are ugly but that's just how the clothing looks 😂

I prefer wearing scav looking shit tbh

[mossy obsidian]

The “kappa” cases are pretty cheap too

Not as fun as making your own tho 🙂

[hallow compass]

True

It's more personal that way so it actually feels like a kappa

[visual rune]

more in the wild

[hallow compass]

Gah I broke my backpack

[hallow compass]

Price range?

Been looking for ballistic plates but I can't find anything but replicas and foam

[spring oar]

You're not gonna get Russian plates, especially now

[slow zealot]

ukranian ebay for cheap ez ez

[dusty fiber]

belarus, poland, kazakhstan, ukraine

europe overall, specially baltic countries and countries around bulgaria

[hallow compass]

I'll look into those

[naive maple]

armor has been ripped off the shelves in europe

for obvious reasons

everywhere seems to be out of stock

it's a bad time to be buying armor

[coral pivot]

Chinese amazon knock off, ran a drop shipping store years ago selling body armor. Some of it wasn't terrible.

[low fox]

they can be yeah

[acoustic harbor]

Korund Plates?

or 6B12?

also most probably a 6B12-4 if it is

because made by NPP Klass

[visual rune]

LPR militia gear

I guess what they handed out with those Mosins and whatever else they could dig out

[acoustic harbor]

ah noice

then a 6B12

because I've only seen a handfull of korunds in the militias and that was my boy motorola

but those are also like 15-20 year old vests

6B23-1 was introduced in 2003

iirc

6B12 plate set

all 6B12 vests if someone needs this

6B11, 12 and 13 were introduced in 2000

6B23 replaced 6B11 and 12 in 2003

6B13 is still issued to a degree nowadays

[twin pecan]

are you sure

[visual rune]

100%

[twin pecan]

i mean these regular degular russians with a PU right here

[visual rune]

not regulars either, DPR/DNR folks

[twin pecan]

dont DPR/DNR wear red ribbons

and RU white ribbons

[visual rune]

i don't think they can afford red ribbons there

[twin pecan]

lol

[low fox]

i think its flipped

[acoustic harbor]

no

Russian and seps alike wesr red and white

multiple pics of Russians with red tape

[acoustic harbor]

also no, they are wearing old Yudashkin like uniforms, Russian soldiers were only seen with VKBO or similar uniforms

also it's common for LPR and DPR to use the old shit

[twin pecan]

oh okay then, thank you for educating me

[acoustic harbor]

like the 6B11/12/13s were issued from 2000-2003

6B13s still make spradic appearances here and there

with the marines

[marsh lantern]

😄

[low trench]

I'm wondering now, when will Tarkov maybe add tactical shields like a MRAPS® ceramic-faced ballistic shield

[spring oar]

Never because they're niche equipment pieces at best

[naive maple]

yes hopefully never

the drawbacks would not be as obvious in the tarkov format, it would become an annoying gimmick

[echo jay]

We might get vants someday

But them bitches heavy

[acoustic harbor]

VANT VMs/LMs maybe

those are common seen with SOBR

and FSB

[acoustic harbor]

LM is 16 kilos VM 24 kilos, though they are manageable, the LM is very nice, i like mine

for a lightweight option they might add the Fakel S

[low trench]

yeah that would be great

[low fox]

painters tape didnt work for me, I let my paint cure for 12 hours and the material of the pelican case just had the paint come right off. I achieved the yellow with just patience and a real steady hand. Sealed the paint with mod podge afterwards too

[wheat plume]

can i have one

[acoustic harbor]

they aren't expensive

like 200, 300 depending on type

and condition

some you can get for 100

[low trench]

May I ask for RETEX ? I am interested about some of the features and thinking about getting one.

[low fox]

what the fuck is a RETEX

Experience return

Sorry its a thing here, I was asking for your advice

it's only worth it for people who are running heavier than usual kits

it can get pretty hot in the harness as well too

i personally think it's an outdated design at this point

there's better carriers out there

but it'll work

if you find a good deal on one go for it i guess

but i would never pay anything close to what MRSP is
